If you were somehow unaware of the Super Bowl going on today, well, it’s over now. And the Ravens won… Yeah. Anyway, what’s the Super Bowl without some pretty awesome ads! The commercials that air during the game have become a part of the culture, and they can get pretty pricey too. The Wall Street Journal estimates a 30-second ad to sell for around $3.8 million. That puts the cost of this Samsung ad at around $15.2 million:

Now that BlackBerry’s back with a new OS and a new pair of phones, they’re gonna need multimillion dollar commercials to sell them! Here’s their ad for the Z10:

You can find the rest of the Super Bowl ads here – including a pretty controversial GoDaddy.com commercial.

    I found all but one commercial was boring. The one about farmers was actually pretty good.

    Thank god that it was an amazing game.

    Samsung’s ad reminds me of the Microsoft ad with Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates. Yeah, that bad. And I shut off the TV when GoDaddy came on. One more reason not to use them.

    Fairly boring commercials this year–good to DVR past. The exception I found was the Bud commercial about the horsebreeder and his Clydesdale-ending horse–nicely sentimental.
